Short version

I tend to work where application architecture, offline-first data, APIs, web interfaces, deployment, and store release meet. I am deepest in .NET and .NET MAUI, but I move into React, Python, Linux, SQL, and Azure when the product needs it.

My work includes application architecture, shared cross-platform foundations, mentoring, and end-to-end mobile and web delivery.

The common thread is ownership of the full delivery path: product decisions, implementation, packaging, release metadata, support surfaces, and the operational work that keeps a product shippable after its first launch.

I build internal AI tooling and agents used by other engineers, and use LLM-assisted development and design workflows, including Claude, as one part of a delivery system that still includes testing, release engineering, and direct product ownership.

I pursued undergraduate studies in Exercise Science before switching to Computer Science at Western Michigan University.

My route into engineering was not linear. I started at Real Green Systems around August 2015 as Mobile Software Technical Support, handling more than 2,000 support calls in under six months. While in Technical Support, I built an internal support-sheet generator that helped other technicians complete documentation for recurring mobile-platform support calls more quickly. Less than six months after starting, I was promoted to Software QA and Automation Developer. Intensive self-directed study outside work supported that progression. During the transition from Service Assistant to Service Assistant 5 (SA5), I wrote Selenium automation and helped implement automated regression and performance testing. About nine months after starting at Real Green Systems, my formal title changed from Software QA and Automation Developer to Software Engineer.

Across that continuous tenure, I moved into development on Automated Marketing Assistant (AMA), then began direct product development on the mobile platform less than two years after my approximate August 2015 start. I later worked as one of two developers on that platform.

Around 2020, my formal title became Senior Software Engineer. WorkWave acquired Real Green Systems in June 2021, and my employment continued without a break.

Today I am a Senior Software Engineer at WorkWave, and my product work has included PestPac and WorkWave Service.

Through Big Bwain LLC, I publish mobile products, live web software, public repositories, CAD, and physical designs. Some store listings identify me personally as the publisher; Big Bwain is the studio that brings that independent work together.

The maker-facing catalog lives at the3dcoder.com. It includes released apps, game experiments, open-source work, public digital models, and real printed products.
